Biblical sources. The main account of Hezekiah’s reign is found in 2 Kings 18–20, Isaiah 36–39, and 2 Chronicles 29–32 of the Hebrew Bible. Proverbs 25:1 mentions that it is a collection of King Solomon’s proverbs that were “copied by the officials of King Hezekiah of Judah”.

Love it.

You know, eventually every person comes to the knowledge that everything the Bible teaches is true.

Why would King Hezekiah have an, what I consider to be Egyptian, ankh on the seal?
